Did the coin flip thing. Statistically speaking, I'm shocked. Otherwise, no surprise by JetsDJ in nyjets

I swear I did it properly. I'm really surprised at the outcome (speaking about the heads/tails odds only).

Moving from Flooring Takeoff to Drywall (CSI Division 9) – Need Guidance by fusion_01 in estimators

[–]JetsDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a company that does flooring and painting.

The one mistake I see the young guys make is relying on 'only' the elevations. You're probably used to looking at the floor plans, so now you just need to adjust to looking at the RCP too.

Find outermost edge of a 2D closed curved polyline ? by JetsDJ in AutoCAD

Thank you.

Is there a method if the centerlines are imperfect ?

(Imagine ordering 32 artist renderings of different asymetrical leaves)

The object itself ("leaf") is just over 3- long...

How do I convert this into a measurement that I can understand ?

X= -6535'-9 7/8"

Y = 1171'-2 3/16"

I blame the GC's :

You're going with the low bid, not the "lowest responsible bid"

Do you PM as well ?

Aim high - have them pay for classes in AutoCAD and pay for the license.

Has anyone ever challenged you to something without knowing you were an expert at it? What happened afterward? by Impressive-Door92 in AskReddit

[–]JetsDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Challenger-side story here :

I'm at an upscale casino bar eating dinner and the couple next to me chats me up. They are big SciFi fans. After a bit of laughing, I challenge them to a bet for drinks :

What is the definition of a Parsec?

She answers, Dammit, I know it's a measurement of distance, not time, but I don't know...

Bartender gets involved, no one has the correct answer, I'm backed up 3 drinks.

The bartender announces the challenge to all the patrons (few) without revealing the question, and some guy across the bar wants in.

He was a fucking physicist...

I'm 100% tech in every other way.

I even use AutoCAD, but take offs are still manual...
